Ate popcorn and smoked sausage for lunch. Interesting combo.
Come on people, give me top 5 lists! Don't make me beg. (Please, please, please. The more fandom related the better.)
Jack Bristow made a list of the best TV dads. Here's what it says about him:
Jack Bristow, "Alias": There were a lot of things wrong with "Alias" over the years. A lot of things. But one of the things the show always had going for it was the spectacular Jack Bristow (Victor Garber), who always seemed destined to give his life for his daughter Sydney in one way or another. Jack made a few mistakes along the way in trying to watch over Sydney without smothering her, but he backed her up in traditional and nontraditional senses. Besides, what's better than being able to say your dad is a spy?
Exactly! Spydaddy was always the best part of Alias. Love him! :)
Excerpts from interview 1:
"The audience will be amazed," he says. "Our main characters are going to start falling by the wayside. We kind of say this in jest, but it's true. Season 2 is like our American Idol season.
"Because we start with eight guys on the run and slowly one guy gets popped, and one guy gets popped, and one guy gets popped. Pretty soon there's only one guy left standing."
He takes a deep breath.
"It's going to be strange for the audience. They're going to go, `My God, they're all gone! They killed that person!' And we're really excited about that because they'll know we're not pulling any punches. We're not doing anything for commercial reasons."
As for Prison Break, which will be renamed this summer, Scheuring says he's already mapping out the third season even though his initial concept was for two years.
"We have found a way, in principle, to have a reinvention in Season 3 with some of the same characters, but a very different milieu and very different tone.
"So it will go on."
And from interview 2:
"Everyone is quite concerned about T-Bag's fate," said Scheuring. "But they will be quite happy. We're going to have T-Bag to kick around for Season 2 - for at least the lion's share of it."
"Preparation is the key to everything, in my opinion," he said. "You have to know what the end game of stories are for the stories to be worthy and make sense. We don't want someone to get to the end of Season 2 and say 'that's impossible - that completely doesn't jibe."'
His writing staff has already started to sketch out Season 3 if the public - and the network -want more.
"It will be a complete reinvention of Season 2. We never want to tell the same story again."
Scheuring promises a lot of loose ends from stories that began in the first season will be played out in the coming months.
"It's not simply going to be our guys in a car chase: there are a lot of unresolved issues," he said. "All these things are going to be addressed in one way or another and usually often in the way the audience anticipates. We're playing for keeps ... the audience will be pretty amazed."
